Morning all.

Kaz - hope you're feeling better today
Bossy - enjoy your picnic
!!!!!! - can't believe your customer, don't know how you manage to keep your patience
Narco - hope your friend's wedding goes ok
Valli - sorry to hear about your cat

Now while I hope that the weather is dry for picnics and weddings today, we've got off to a damp start here and it's open day at the sports club. I'm almost hoping it will get called off, despite baking food, as I can't imagine many people will turn up anyway in this weather.

Anyhow, before I go out to that, I plan to:

WUDUPA
Do the ironing
Hoover/sweep/mop through the house
Walk the dogs

I really should wash my hair this morning but I just can't be bothered with the faff of drying it, so we'll see.

Have a great day everyone.

Interesting chat about ear piercings...I was at secondary school when I was allowed mine to be done, but my sister was four years younger and I remember feeling outraged at how unfair that was!

My DSD pleaded for about 6 months when she was 10, but DH said she wasn't responsible enough while she was at primary school. He relented over the Christmas holidays once she started secondary school. I worked on him for her.

Flying-wise, I need to shovel out my bedroom today, after I've made pancakes for the masses...in the bath ATM, trying to muster courage for the day.

Thinking of all fly ladies feeling down - sending hugs xxx

Ironing done. WUDUPA done.

Re earrings, I gave in to DD when she was about 8 as that was the age I had been (although I let first lot close up and had them done again when I was 12). DD is squeamish and wouldn't let me near hers to keep them clean etc and didn't do it herself, so is another one who ended up at the hospital with the butterfly embedded in her ear. She let them close up and has never bothered since (nearly 30 now) although she did have a belly button piercing at 16 but has let that close too now.

I love wearing a different pair of earrings every day.

Right, hoovering etc next.

Morning all.

(((Hugs))) to Narc0, Biscuit monster, Bossy and FFP.
Happy hols to LW.

I've not done very well this week - slept very badly one night, so it's taken a looooong time to catch up on sleep, and I have crashed most afternoons

Some filing and tidying has been completed (for now!!!) but more work has been generated by my host for next weekend asking me to give an illustrated talk on our local area, and also by my DDiL asking me to make DS2 a cake for his ordination Very happy to do both, but I'm running short of time! I have been out and taken some photos, and I have enough leftover ingredients bought for my goddaughter's wedding cake to make a rich fruit cake for DS2.

DH left at 07:30 to play trains again all day, so I should be able to get on with the essential jobs. It's raining steadily here, so I shall not be tempted to go out and plant up the tubs until after lunch. Fortunately DH mowed the lawn yesterday and I went round afterwards and edged it, at the same time pulling out half a dozen baby ash trees that had taken root in the flower bed.

Today's list looks much like Thursday's:
- intercessions for Sunday
- file Gift Aid paperwork and update records
- fill in form to send to HMRC (needs further signatures on Sunday)
- file all other papers
- mix and bake DS2's cake
- QHI
- design poster and tickets for choir
- design flyer for Old Wives Group fundraising event
- empty tubs of bulbs, plant summer bedding
- weed the drive
- update diary on my phone

Better get moving! Hope everyone has a good day, whatever you've got planned x

Good Morning all,

I have just skim read the thread so hugs and high fives all round as needed. I have been wide awake since 3.30, would ideally have a nap later but we have friends arriving at noon staying until tomorrow so I need to get everything ready. So far the DW and WM are doing their thing, I have fed the smalls and WUDUPA.

Need to nip to Mr A for a cooked chicken for lunch and hoover through. Oh and have a shower, my hair is in desparate need. I am craving a biscuit already, that can't be a good thing!

Have lovely days x

Fwiw school staff are not supposed to help children manage/sort/insert earrings. This week I had a child say hers hurt, I had to model on my ears how to loosen the back for her to copy.
I was 16 when I had mine, DD, at 20, is still unscathed! She had ear problems when younger so we decide to leave it for a while, now she's not bothered

We aren't allowed to touch earrings either Valli, they get taped my the classroom assistant but if any come out or back come off they are given an envelope to put them in and if they come saying they hurt we can't touch them and as you say just have to tell them to mention it at home. I've demonstrated turning studs on my own ears.

Morning all :hello:

I was 16 when I got my ears pierced. I took myself after getting my GCSE results. I still remember my mum not being very happy about it. Some days I wonder why I bothered as I rarely wear anything other than the studs I had them pierced with 21 years ago this summer! It is nice to still have the option to wear a nice pair of hoops though or festive ones over Christmas if I go out anywhere.

I took DD to get hers done at 13 as she'd been asking for a while. I treated it as a "now you're a teen you can do something a little bit more grown up" thing. It also quite nicely coincided with her ears being healed enough for her to have nice (and matching the other bridesmaids) earrings when her dad got married a few months later. She now has a bigger collection of earrings than I've ever had :rotfl: Only downside is her repeatedly loosing earrings or the backs off them, although since she had to pay for the last set she's not yet lost any

Had a lie in this morning, chased DD downstairs at 8.45 to see to Zack instead of laying on her bed on her phone, came down at 9am to find she'd seen to Zack and was washing the dishes :eek: We then had breakfast while watching TV and she's helped me put the sofa cover back on then the throws so the place was a little more presentable when her dad got here.

I'm really tired today so not sure how much I'm going to get done. I'm thinking I'll sit and read through the articles I pulled from my magazine pile (now decluttered all 16 of them) and then get rid of the ones I don't want to keep. Working through my paperwork piles is a slow job but I'm getting there. I'm not sure what else as I don't know how long that will take and I want to have a bath before DD get home from the cinema. She's said she's going to do the ironing when she gets home while watching x-files so I'll dig the sewing repairs out to do while she does that. The weather forecast for today is poor so I'll do laundry tomorrow instead.

Just reported some dodgy pedestrian lights to the council. They kept resetting themselves so pedestrians couldn't cross. :mad: I'm on a roll with contacting the council about problems They're going to get sick of me
